SCANRAY® 3643 — Portable Wireless Digital Radiography System

Complete Field Package | SKU: SCANRAY3643

Overview

The SCANRAY® 3643 is the largest and most capable model in the SCANRAY Regular series — a full-format, portable wireless digital radiography (DR) system engineered by DR Systems for high-throughput industrial inspection on the grandest scale. With the largest active detection area in the Regular lineup at 14.1 × 16.9 inches, the 3643 is purpose-built for inspectors who need to cover maximum surface area per exposure — dramatically reducing shot count, accelerating inspection campaigns, and delivering outstanding productivity gains on large-diameter piping, pressure vessels, structural welds, and extended joint inspections.

Despite its large format, the SCANRAY® 3643 retains the same field-proven ruggedness, wireless operation, IP67 protection, and comprehensive ready-to-use package that makes the entire SCANRAY series the trusted choice of NDT professionals worldwide. Everything required to begin performing digital radiographic inspections is included straight out of the box.

Key Detector Specifications

Regular Series — Maximum Coverage Format

The SCANRAY® 3643 is the largest detector in the Regular series, delivering the widest single-shot coverage area of any standard SCANRAY model. Its 140 µm pixel pitch is optimized for large-format general-purpose inspection, where coverage speed and throughput take priority.

With an active area of 358 × 430 mm (14.1 × 16.9 in) — the largest in the entire Regular lineup — the 3643 captures significantly more of the inspection surface in a single exposure than any other Regular series model. This translates directly into fewer shots, shorter inspection times, reduced radiation exposure for personnel, and lower overall inspection costs on large-scale projects.

DR-SOFT® Software

The SCANRAY® 3643 ships with DR-SOFT® pre-installed on both the included ruggedized laptop and ruggedized tablet. DR-SOFT® is DR Systems' proprietary radiographic image acquisition and evaluation software, designed to deliver a fast and intuitive inspection workflow directly in the field. Key capabilities include:

• Real-time image display immediately after each exposure
• Image enhancement, annotation, and measurement tools
• DICONDE-format image storage for secure archiving and remote transmission
• Immediate post-exposure evaluation — no darkroom, no waiting, no film processing
• Remote image transmission to a separate evaluation station for multi-site workflows

System Highlights

True Plug-and-Play Inspection The comprehensive package contents mean inspectors can begin working immediately upon arrival on site — no separate software licensing, no missing accessories, no sourcing compatible hardware.

Largest Active Area in the Regular Series At 14.1 × 16.9 inches, the 3643 captures the widest single-shot coverage area of any Regular series SCANRAY detector — maximizing throughput and minimizing total exposure count on large-scale inspection campaigns.

Wireless Operation Images are transmitted in real-time from the detector to the operator's tablet or laptop via Wi-Fi, allowing the operator to remain safely outside the radiation exclusion zone during exposure. An additional Wi-Fi module is included to extend wireless range in challenging environments.

24/7 Continuous Inspection Two full sets of batteries with charger ensure uninterrupted operation across extended inspection campaigns or multi-shift production environments.

Drop and Impact Protection The included universal protective cover protects the detector from accidental drops of up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) — a critical safeguard in active industrial environments.

High-Temperature Inspection The included heat-resistant blanket allows the detector to be used on hot objects up to 250°C (482°F) without any cooling period — reducing downtime in high-temperature process plant environments.

Zero Data Loss The detector's internal memory stores images locally when the wireless connection to the operator's station is interrupted. No images are ever lost during a working shift.

Compatible with All Radiation Sources The SCANRAY® 3643 works with constant-potential, half-sine, and pulsed X-ray generators, as well as gamma radiation sources of varying activity levels.

Compliance & Standards

The SCANRAY® 3643 fully meets the requirements of the following international NDT standards:

• ISO 17636-2 — Non-destructive testing of welds: Radiographic testing (Digital detectors)
• ASTM E2698 — Standard Practice for Radiological Examination Using Digital Detector Arrays
• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code — Section V, Article 2

Ideal Applications

• Large-diameter pipeline and pressure vessel weld inspection
• Structural weld inspection in shipbuilding and offshore construction
• High-throughput production radiography requiring maximum area coverage per shot
• Corrosion mapping of large storage tanks and process vessels
• In-service inspection of insulated and operating equipment
• Heavy manufacturing and fabrication quality control
• Any application where maximum single-shot coverage and inspection speed are the primary requirements
